# Read in land use data
land_use <- read_sf("Land_Use_Land_Cover_LULC")

# Rename land use column for better display
land_better <- land_use %>% 
  rename("Land Use Type:" = landcover)

# Make interactive map of Hawaii land use data
tmap_mode("view")

tm_shape(land_better) +  
  tm_basemap("Esri.WorldStreetMap") +
  tm_fill("Land Use Type:", legend.show = FALSE) 

# Read in watershed data
water <- read_sf("Watersheds")

# Rename wathershed name column for better display
water_better <- water %>% 
  rename("Watershed Name:" = wuname)

# Make interactive map of Hawaii watershed data
tm_shape(water_better) +  
  tm_basemap("Esri.WorldStreetMap") +
  tm_fill("Watershed Name:", legend.show = FALSE)
